'Application led September 6, 1921.

T) all whom t may concern.' y

Be it known that I, QARRIE S. RATTAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Franclsco and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Garment Hangers, of which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to wearingapparel apparatus and has for its primary object to provide' an improved garment hanger equipped to support one or more garments such as coats, skirts and the like.

Another object of this invention is to provide a device of the character described which comprises a plurality of supporting bars vhaving a connection therebetween, whereby the said bars may be readily folded one upon the other tosave space in packing when the hanger is not used for the purpose of supporting clothes.

A further object of this invention is to equip one of the bars of the hanger with means, whereby the said bars may be readily adjusted to t various sizes of skirts and the like.

A still further object of this invention is to provide a device of the character described, which is simple in construction, economical to manufacture, strong and durable and so constructed as to be able to support a number of garments of different shapes, and sizes.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course ofthe following description.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate likeparts throughout the same` Fig. 1 is a front elevation of my improved hanger,

Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section taken on the line 2 2 of Figure 1, and

Fig. 3 is a similar view taken on the line .3 3 of Figure 1'.

tremity in a loop 9. The supporting bar ls preferably slotted as at 10 so as to be able to mount 'thereon metal straps 11 which termlnate adjacent their lower extremities in curved ends 11. On the supporting bar 5 I lpropose to hang a garment such as a coat, while the straps 11 which are connected to the bar, can be utilized to support a number of other articles of wearing apparel.

Adapted to be connected to the loop 9 is the upper extremity of a cord 12, which cord in turn has its lower extremity secured to a loop 13 of a depending shank 14 construct/ed of the same material as the shank 7. which material is preferably made of rigid wrapped fabric and differs from the formation of the cord 12, inasmuch as the cord 12 can be readily folded back upon itself when it is desired to fold the hanger for the purpose of packing or shipping. The shank 14 is likewise received in a centrally located bore 15 of a lower or second supporting bar designated as a whole by the numeral 16. This supportingbar is likewise of the usual curved shape and is located below the sup which slots continue into spaced notches 20 i and 21. The extremities of the bar 17 are adapted to be received in the end pieces 22 and 23, preferably made of wood, of the second or lower supporting bar-and are retained from displacement therefrom by cross pins 24, on which are supported a second set of straps 25, or similar construction as the straps 11.

From this construction it will be apparent that the lower supporting bar 16 can be made readily adjustable to fit Various sizes of garments such as skirts and that the limit of the expansion of the end pieces 22 and 23 can be regulated by the disposition of the pins 24 in the notches 18 and of the intermediate metal bar 17.

In order that thereinay be no danger of the skirt being displaced from the sections 22 and 23. I propose to threadedly mount on the top of the sections pegs 26 and 27. The skirt as-it is draped over the bar 16 can then be secured to these pegs, and thus there will 'invention,jfheregw1t `to be taken p A same, and that various changes'in" theshapeV two bars such as the cord 12, it will be ur.

ther evident that the bars 5 and 16 can be readily folded one upon the other when it is desired to pack the device for travel.

From the foregoing construction as just described it will be evident that I have devised an exceptionally strong and durable garment hanger which can be made of comparativelyA few parts, and which can be readily assembled and disassembled.

It is tfbe'v understood that the form of my i hV shownpandfy-descr-ibed, is referred" lezmmple of? the size and arrangement of parts` may vbe resorted to without departing from the spirit .of the invention or t-he scopeof the subjoined claim.

Having thus described my` invention, I p.

claim In a garment hanger, a supporting hook having a depending shank, a curved supporting barmounted on said shank, laterally sliding hooks supported by said curved support, a second curved supporting bar sus'- pended below said first mentioned curved supporting bar, said second curved supporting bar being of a length vequal to the firstmentioned supporting bar, slots formed in sald second mentioned supporting bar, end

pieces adapted to be slidably held on said second mentioned supporting bar, crosspieces extending therethrough` and adaptedy to pass through said 'SlQts,' "and meansfcarried at thejouter endsiidsaid i retaining alflgarment threon..
